Seraphic Delegacy II: Eri-more!
#21

(01-06-2019, 05:57 AM)The Solar System Scope Wrote: Hi, my dear co-candidate~

What do you plan to do if things do not seem to go your way, like if the various ministries or other governmental bodies do not seem to be willing or capable of cooperating with you in the way you want or cannot carry out your plans for the region?

What is your opinion with the relations we have to other regions? Is there some region you would like to strengthen or weaken our bonds with?

The delegate is not the PM, so it's not their job to cajole other officials into action (except, the case could be made, for the LC), so if there is no buy-in from others wrt any plans I may have, then that would be disappointing, but so be it. What I can do is focus on those things that are within my remit (like welcoming new nations and being approachable, keeping a watchful eye on the region, keeping endorsements up, helping out the LC etc.) and use my influence to encourage the nations of TSP and the assembly to seek continuous regional improvement and to hold their elected officials to account.

I do not think it is the place of the Delegate to dictate our foreign affairs agenda, only to serve to carry out that agenda as required, much as the Queen of the UK does not decide Britain's foreign affairs policy, but has been one of its most important diplomats. I would offer my services to the MoFA in this regard (for example, I was one of TSP's signatories to the constitional agreement in Lazarus last year, because that would have been significant to TWP, another signatory region) and not seek to influence their policy direction except as as any other member of the Assembly.

Hello there Seraph.

If you are elected Delegate, do you plan to continue the electric boogaloo? (What is your stance on gameside activities and events?)

I didn't even continue it in the title of this thread. Oops!

But seriously, I'm always keen for more activities and conversation starters on the gameside and whilst that's primarily for the LC to decide and I wouldn't want to step on their toes, there's definitely room for the Delegate to set the tone for this and fill in the gaps where needed, too. I'll start the conversational ball rolling whenever I can and encourage activities as they are needed. I'm also always happy to listen to suggestions and run with them whenever. And, of course, I'd be keen to help promote festival activities on the gameside for the MoRA.

May I refer you to my answer to TS3's very similar question, four posts up the page.

Oh. I apologize, I did not see that part of the question.

Delegate Question:
What is your opinion on political parties on TSP? Do you think that they are outdated and should be removed, or do you think we should keep them? Do you wish to form your own political party?

EDIT: Disregard the last one; I just looked at my sig.

Whilst I'm not inherently opposed to the existence of political parties per se, I think they have mostly had their time. They were an interesting, if not entirely successful experiment.

You mention in your campaign that you'd "like to create a network of resources that all nations can use to find help and support when they need it." I have a few questions with regard to this:
  • How will a "network of resources" work? In other words, what would be its organizational structure, and why would that be better than just creating more resources without forming a network?
  • How do you plan to distribute these resources?
Thank you.

Thank you.
The term 'network' may have been poorly chosen if it implies a greater organisational structure than what I have in mind, which would mainly be a dispatch or set of dispatches covering a range of topics, including mental health issues and safeguarding. I plan to open up input on these to the community and the moderation teams, also, to ensure consistency.

As for distribution, I would hope to have a keystone dispatch pinned to the WFE and would encourage the LC to share them on the RMB in situations where it was deemed useful/appropriate. I would also promote them in my Delegate blog (which I plan to resume).
